Some useful add-ons to your LinkedIn profile
Did you know that LinkedIn offer a whole load of additional features that you can add to your standard profile?
When you edit your profile, look for an option near the top of the page called “add sections”. Here are just a few worth noting:
How to search for tweets by geographical area
Do you want to find Tweets within a certain geographical radius? Here is one way of doing it.
Say you are looking for mentions of "Osteopath" within 20 miles of the centre of Manchester:
1. Go to http://maps.google.co.uk and find Manchester, UK – point to it on the map and right click. Select "whats here?". You should now see the geo location appear in the search box at the top e.g."53.490905,-2.235718".
2. Go to the search box on Twitter and type (without the quotes "osteopath geocode:53.490905,-2.235718,20mi"
3. If you want to change the radius, just change the "20mi" to the number of miles you want the range to be.
It’s not completely accurate, but it works far better than searching place names e.g. "Osteopath Manchester" where you often get no results at all.

Why you should tear up your social media plan every six months
Congratulations. After several months of work, your company has finally put together a social media plan, and started to put it into action. What do you do next?
If you’re sensible – tear it up. Well, not immediately. But every three-to-six months or so. The reason is simple: the technology, and the way people use it, changes so quickly that it necessitates frequent rethinks by businesses. There are frequent new arrivals on the scene.
The day I lost all faith in Google
I use Google Apps for my managing my email accounts. Until recently, I had a Google account separate from my Google Apps Account that I used for products like Reader and Analytics. This changed when Google forced users to consolidate their regular accounts with their Google Apps accounts. I had several so called "conflicting" Accounts due to
my use of the same email address for both Accounts.
